Bruening will play Matt, a paramedic at Seattle Grace. Rumor has it he's a love interest for one of the Seattle Grace docs, but who he's romancing is being kept under wraps. You'll have to hit the comments with your guesses, but remember that April (Sarah Drew) and Jackson (Jesse Williams), and Cristina (Sandra Oh) and Owen (Kevin McKidd) did just break up.

Bruening's casting follows that of Neve Campbell, who will play Derek's sister Lizzie Shepherd, and Constance Zimmer as a new doctor at Seattle Grace. Bruening, whose credits also include the short-lived Knight Riderremake and All My Children, will first appear in an episode slated for late January or early February.
